- Looking ahead to IronRuby
- With the exception of the occasional Perl script, my development efforts are squarely within the .Net ecosystem. This is not really my choice.I like the .Net Framework because it encapsulates 90% of the dull plumbing work. I like the .Net CLR because it lets me use the best language for...

- Microsoft .Net Needs Better *Nix Support
- Longtime readers of mine will know that I have a lot of love and respect for some of the less popular languages and programming models like Perl and functional programming (in the order of "love" and "respect"). With that in mind, I am strongly encouraging Microsoft to put as many...

- Is VB.Net a deadend language?
- Let's leave out all debate as to whether or not VB.Net is a quality language or not. For a change. What I do know, is that while Microsoft pays a lot of lip service to the idea that VB.Net is a good "glue" language, they do not seem to provide...

- My Language Choice Conundrum
- A recent TechRepublic article has sparked a fairly fierce discussion about the appropriateness of particular languages to particular tasks. What I find interesting about this is the attitude of, "well, if this is the language that I know, why shouldn't I use it?" I was raised and taught to use...

- Explore alternative languages for .NET development
- F# - Make more in less codeF# is an ML language for .NET. It is a version of Objective CAML, the most successful ML language out there and one of the fastest languages overall.F# programs are typically much smaller than C# and Java programs doing the same thing. F# is...

- Microsoft embraces open-source scripting language
- Migration? I think not.I love how an entire "news" story can be built on two things: one an interesting fact that indicates that open source development methodologies are moving into new markets, and the other the ignorant ramblings of one person.Let's examine two core statements by our ignorant rambler:[i]"If...

- Multithreading is a verb not a noun
- Steve Yegge's rather famous post, "Execution in the Kingdom of Nouns" has probably done more to frame and influence my thoughts about object-oriented programming OOP than anything else out there. In the discussion thread about my post on multithreading loops, I finally got a handle on why I feel that...

- CodePlex: Microsoft's open source initiative
- The battle between Microsoft and the open source community has been well documented over the years. Microsoft seems to be embracing the open source movement with its CodePlex Web site, which provides a community for sharing code and collaborating on projects. Microsoft includes its own projects on the site as...

- Stop the systematic abuse of object-oriented programming
- Object-oriented programming OOP has become the dominant type of programming over the last 10 years or so; a major driver of this has been Java, VB.NET, and C#. But what I keep seeing more and more is that too many programmers using object-oriented languages really do not understand OOP. ...

- Can Microsoft win over enough developers to change the paradigm?
- Over the last few months, I have written about some of the changes occurring in the development landscape. Some of the other writers in TechRepublic's Programming and Development space have also been approaching the same topic with hands-on articles, such as Tony Patton's recent piece on Silverlight 2.0, and Peter...

- Users never do the wrong thing, you wrote the wrong code
